[Lions] Lions QB Dan Orlovsky Close To Returning

Lions quarterback Dan Orlovsky, who has been sidelined with a fractured right thumb for the past four games, could be given clearance to practice then and play Sunday. When asked Monday if that meant a change at quarterback might take place, Marinelli dodged the question. "He'll go in and see the trainer and see how it all works out," Marinelli said. "We've just got to see (how) close (he) is." Orlovsky didn't practice Monday, but he did some throwing in individual drills and on the side, throwing everything from short passes to airing it out on deeper routes with plenty of zip on the ball. "I threw today and it was fine," said Orlovsky, who saw a hand specialist last week. "He said everything was healing fine."
